Synopsis
The Ballad of King Windowglass

The famous Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas serves as the basis for this lively farce
The Good King sets out to give his gift to a peasant he has seen, but encounters unanticipated difficulties from some of his subjects who question the "political correctness" of his gift
The play also has terrific fun with the "thither and yon" of Olde English dialogue
This clever one-act play has been produced successfully by many age groups including a junior high school drama club and a drama group at a retirement community
It's also suitable for both Christian and secular groups
